Harry Browne, in my humble opinion, was the most persuasive libertarian ever. He has been dead 5 years now. www.harrybrowne.org has a archive of his great articles. After nine eleven, many libertarians got all responsible and towed the party line. Harry (and Jacob Hornberger) stick out as two people who stuck to their guns.

Relinquish liberty for the purposes of defense in an emergency?
Why? It would seem that in an emergency, of all times, one needs
his greatest strength. So if liberty is strength and slavery is weakness,
liberty is a necessity rather than a luxury, and we can ill afford
to be without it—least of all during an emergency.
